New On Netflix For December 2017: Will Smith’s Bright, Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2, And More Movies And TV Shows

With the arrival of the holidays comes a slew of new shows and movies on Netflix. It’s a particularly busy month for the streamer, with many holiday specials joining the service, alongside several Netflix originals and a number of new library titles. With popular titles like V for Vendetta, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and Disney’s The Santa Clause trilogy arriving, December is going to be a busy month for streaming.

However, it’s a Netflix original movie that you should be paying closest attention to. December 22 will see the premiere of Bright, starring Will Smith and Joel Edgerton. The fantasy crime movie is directed by David Ayer (Suicide Squad) with a script by Max Landis (American Ultra). The film marks Smith’s first time starring in a Netflix project and he’s certainly picked an interesting one.

Bright is set in a world where humans and fantasy creatures coexist. Smith plays an LAPD officer who is partnered with an Orc (Edgerton) when they find a very powerful magic wand that has the potential to change the world. Other new entries include Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, a new season of The Ranch, and Dave Chappelle’s latest stand-up comedy special. It’s not all good news, though.

There are also many titles departing the service in December. Black Snake Moan, Practical Magic, and 11 seasons of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia are just a few of the movies and shows that will no longer be available after the end of 2017. So make sure you watch them while you still can.
